CUBA: The Broad View

Though he denied it, Cuba's ambitious young (41) Ambassador to the U.S.,
Guillermo Belt, looked more & more as if he were going to be a candidate to
succeed President Ramón Grau San Martín next year.

He flew to Havana, was closeted three and four times daily with his good
friend Grau. While Prime Minister Carlos Prio Socarras, an avowed
candidate, cooled his heels outside the President's second-floor
office. Belt used a private stairway to the third-floor apartment where
Grau lived. Said Prio nervously: "If I last till Wednesday, I'm saved."
